Hays Education Foundation sparkles this month
Denim & Diamonds, the annual fundraising gala for the Hays CISD Education Foundation, is just around the corner.

This year’s event will feature a karaoke contest to raise additional funds. There is also a raffle where you can purchase chances to win a half-carat diamond. The Foundation has given more than $1 million to the students and teachers of Hays CISD since its inception in 1998.

Middle School Parent Event: Girl Talk/Boy Talk
Conversations with teens about sexuality can be hard to start. Get that conversation started with accurate and appropriate information provided by a special panel of experts at two upcoming evening events. Be prepared with any questions from you or your teen. Questions can be texted anonymously on the night of the event. Students may come if accompanied by either or both parents or a trusted adult. Girl Talk is scheduled for Nov. 12, Boy Talk is Nov. 19. Both events take place beginning at 6:30 p.m. at the Hays CISD Performing Arts Center. For more information, contact Katie Campbell, program coordinator for Hays CISD Pregnancy, Education, and Parenting Program at 512-268-8454 x 8622.
